How to manage Rust disease in soybean crop

In the soybean crop, rust disease is known as gerua disease. The probability of an outbreak of this disease increases with frequent rainfall and low temperature (22 to 27 °C) and high humidity (relative humidity 80-90%). The intensity of the disease increases when there is fog during the night or early morning. As the temperature drops, so does the outbreak of this disease.
Due to the accumulation of yellow powder on the leaves, the process of making food of the leaves is greatly affected, due to which later the leaves start drying and the production is greatly affected.
To control this disease, spray Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml/acre or Propiconazole 25% EC @ 200 ml/acre or Tebuconazole 25.9% EC @ 200 ml/acre.
As a biological treatment, spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 g/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 g/acre.
Disease resistant varieties Indira Soya-9, DSB 23-2 DSB Sow 21 and Phule Kalyani etc. Uproot the diseased plant and keep it in polythene, bury it in a pit outside the field or destroy it.
